Your Reputation...One Day at a Time
It used to be that a small team of people were responsible for the organization's reputation management efforts/activities. OMG those days are gone and they're never coming back. Today reputation management is a 24x7 job that is the responsibility of everyone on the team. Sure management sets the tone/direction but someone (even outside the organization who doesn't know squat) can bruise/tarnish the organization's reputation with inuendos, half-truths or lies. If you think the current wave of cyberbullies is a passing fad, think again. Those types of people are here to stay. All you can do is focus on doing your best.

EMAIL RES-CUE
For someone who loves in-person and voice contact, I’m baffled by how much time I spend sending and responding to emails. It’s so easy to use email as the default for doing business, for building relationships (and now even email is being slowly usurped by social media software). But I stand resolute in my campaign to make sure we don’t trade humanity for technology. Having been both perpetrator and victim of emails gone bad, I offer some ways to bail yourself out of the email jail, and match the right message with the right medium.
Business Card Marketing
Do you have a box of business cards on your desk that you hardly seem to put a dent in before the information changes and a new box is ordered? Or worse yet...are you still working on that same box of business cards that you printed 3 years ago! Business cards can be a great inexpensive marketing tool for a small business. They say exactly what you do and give people all the contact information they need to get a hold of you. Yet oddly enough we tend to use them only for networking, and even then, we aren't really sure if people are holding on to them.

5 Ways To Get on Top of the Paperwork
The Wall Street Journal did a survey a few years ago and found that the 'average' white collar worker spends 6 weeks a year looking for things around their office. Do you have a huge challenge coping with the incoming paperwork? (Whatever happened to the paperless office?). Paperwork lands on your desk (or enters you 'in-box') and somehow finds its way into your in-tray. Eventually the in-tray becomes so high it explodes and ends up all over your desktop. That's because you avoided taking action on those messy pieces of paper the moment they arrived. Now you have no option but to sort through the explosion and tidy up the pile or actually do something with the paperwork.
